Throughout our twenty years, the Community Legal Center has looked to fill in the gaps in the Memphis legal services community, providing legal assistance to the area’s working poor: service workers, laborers, cooks, servers, and warehouse workers – individuals who are responsible and deserve the dignity of being able to respond when faced with a legal issue. Yet this population, while striving to be self-supporting, has no discretionary income to hire an attorney. This population continues to grow, as does its need for civil legal counsel.
